Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 pound hot pork sausage (I use reduced fat sausage, not necessarily hot)
2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1 package active dry yeast
1/4 cup very warm water
1 cup buttermilk
Melted butter

Directions:
Directions:
Cook sausage very slowly, stirring constantly until done (don’t overcook). Drain and set aside. Sift dry ingredients together; cut in shortening with pastry blender.
Dissolve yeast in very warm water for about 5 minutes (if water is too hot it will kill the yeast). Add to buttermilk. Stir into dry ingredients and mix well. Turn out on pastry cloth; roll or pat to about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle sausage over half the dough. Fold other half of dough over sausage mixture and pat or roll lightly. Cut with biscuit cutter.
Biscuits may be placed on a cookie sheet and frozen quickly. After they are frozen they may be placed in moisture proof, vapor- proof containers and returned to freezer.
To cook: Roll biscuits in melted butter, place on greased cookie sheet, and bake at 450 degrees for 12 minutes or until brown.

Personal Notes:
Note: I make mine like a jelly roll and slice instead of using biscuit cutters. I sprinkle the sausage all over the dough instead of just half of it and roll up from the long side. There is not waste this way and you don’t have to keep gathering scraps and rerolling them.
I usually go on and bake the biscuits and keep them in the refrigerator and just heat up in the microwave. However, I have frozen them both before cooking and after cooking. They usually just don’t last long enough to freeze.
